With the help of government schemes, farmers can increase their income and for this purpose the central and state governments are running many types of schemes. One of these is the Farm Pond Scheme which is being run by the state government for the farmers of Uttar Pradesh. Under this scheme, eligible farmers get subsidy of up to 50% from the government. Let us tell you that this scheme is being run for a long time but due to lack of much information about it, farmers are not getting its benefits.

Applications are being invited from farmers under “Farm Pond Scheme” for the year 2024. The farmer taking benefit under this scheme will have to convert his field into a pond. By doing this, not only that farmer’s fields but also the fields of other farmers will be irrigated. Along with irrigation, fish farming can also be done in the pond and this will also provide additional income to the farmer. Under this scheme, small pond (22×20×3 m) cost/pond – Rs. 105000 and medium pond (35×30×3 m) cost/pond – Rs. You will get a benefit of Rs 228400.
